She was indignant; if boys could do it, why couldn't girls?
Because they were not in the same class, Du Zhiwei and Xie Zhiyan gradually had less and less interaction. However, the contrast that was evident everywhere did not disappear. On the contrary, because of the latter's excellence, she was caught up in her studies even faster. During her student days, she dared not stop for a moment.
Later on, she herself became a little confused. She had already tried so hard, so why couldn't she beat them?
Who exactly is she trying to defeat?
But she knew very well that her original wish was never to be better than anyone else.
As she grew older, the girl's thoughts matured, but she was still compared to others from time to time. She had also secretly inquired about which university Xie Zhiyan had attended.
Originally, he wanted to compete with the person his family described as a literary genius, but the news he received was that Xie Zhiyan had been directly selected to join the army.
At this point, Du Zhiwei felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
Xie Zhiyan seemed to be her natural nemesis; he was born to be compared to her.
If Xie Zhiyan wanted to join the army, he could have easily used his family's connections to get a recommendation. He had the height and physique to do so. However, he chose to rely on his own abilities and extraordinary strength to reach a height that others could never reach.
She was dumbfounded.
How can someone's life be so smooth sailing?
Du Zhiwei was holding her breath, originally intending to confront Xie Zhiyan, but before she even reached the Xie family, she overheard Xie Zhiyan talking to Qi Zecheng.
"With your grades, getting into a good university should be a piece of cake, right? With all the effort you put into studying before, I thought you were aiming to become a top student. But you ended up in the army anyway. Since your goal was set here all along, why waste all that effort?"
Xie Zhiyan leaned against the tree in front of his house. The sunlight shone on his face, making it difficult to see his expression. Du Zhiwei could only hide herself in the corner.
"I just feel that I'm not good enough. I have a girl I like who is far more outstanding than me, not only in academics, but in almost every aspect of life. Maybe if I work a little harder, I can get closer to her. I hope that one day we can walk side by side instead of always looking up to each other."
What was Qi Zecheng's expression like back then?
Du Zhiwei no longer remembers.
However, there was one thing she remembered clearly: Qi Zecheng practically became her mouthpiece, saying what she most wanted to say.
"Better than you? Closer to you? Are you even speaking human language? What do you mean by that? What about all of us?"
He had a series of questions, and Du Zhiwei had the same thought at the time.
Amidst her heartbreak, she also felt intensely insulted. Just who was so powerful?
If he's even better than her arch-rival, then what does it matter if she desperately tries to catch up with Xie Zhiyan?
